You are mixing styles a bit.  The "background" property is a shortcut that
can do it all on one line such as:

background : #ffffff  url(/screens/cattrax_photo_banner.jpg) no-repeat;

Or, if you still want to spread that out over several lines you can use:

background-color : #ffffff;
background-image:url(/screens/cattrax_photo_banner.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;

Either way would be more styliscally consistent.   Also, if you set a
background .css rules require you to also set a color.  Or at least the
validator at the w3c site says so.

I really like the visual impression of your page, by the way.
